Del Taco

Quick! Where's The Mop?

This burrito literally exploded. I've never seen anything like it. John was right. Never eat here. I must warn the world. This was the worst burrito I've ever tried to eat.

As John and I fled the scene, we spoke:

John: I'm really glad you decided to stop eating that. There was no reason to keep going.
Jonah: I couldn't keep going.
John: 'Cause the thing fell apart?
Jonah: Two factors brought that burrito to a point that prohibited further continuance of the meal. Massive structural flaws made consumption tactically impossible. And it was f-ing disgusting.
John: Dude write that down.

Welcome To Del Taco

From a restaurant management standpoint, Del Taco is amazing. They've got over 400 locations in Los Estados Unidos, most of which are franchised. That makes them the second largest organization in their category: Mexican/American fast food (Chipotle counts as fast-casual, placing Del Taco behind the gargantuan Taco Bell which has over 6,500 locations).

That kind of size is impressive, but even more impressive when you take into account that it's privately held.
